Porter Square apartment

I am looking for 1 roommate in a 2 bedroom house in Porter Square. MIT is 3 T stops away and Harvard and Davis Squares are within walking distance. There is a supermarket 1 block away. The location is very convenient for shopping and restaurants. My... current roommate is completing his residency and will be moving out at the end of August but that may be negotiable if you need to move in sooner. Feel free to email me if you have any questions about the unit. The pictures are from the previous tenants however I do have a kitchen table and chairs as well as a furnished living room. You would need to furnish your own bedroom.
